Nokia Lumia 900 on Net10...data problems :(

[Jordan Miera]

Finally got my number to port over to Net10! My Nokia Lumia 900 is my first Windows Phone...as well as my first smartphone. I'm having some data problems, though. Data just is not connecting. And...well, I'll just copy/paste this from another forum. It explains my problem.

"Okay, I know I'm going to sound dumb, but I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong! I tried using the network settings app, data didn't work, and I deleted the Network Settings app. I then tried going under Settings-->Cellular and I put the APN as att.mvno (I didn't put anything else as suggested by people in threads I've read online). I'm able to send/receive phone calls and texts and I have a strong signal (it also has "4G" up by the signal strength reader). Might anybody please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!"

Or maybe it would help if somebody could please give me some directions for getting the Network Setup app to correctly do its thing. Thank you all very much! I really do appreciate any help you might be able to give me.

-J.D.M.

data can take a while to provision from NET10/Straight Talk. I didn't understand your post on HoFo and I don't understand it here. You don't actually say what you did with the Network settings app. Without the app, everything should work but MMS. The app is only useful for setting up the correct MMC.

^ That, and make sure you delete the settings in Settings > Cellular (seems to choose those settings over anything put into the Network Setup App) and also be sure to reboot your phone after entering the settings.

Thanks. What would be a reasonable amount of time to wait for data to be provisioned and start working before I should start getting worried?

Not really sure, for me (Straight Talk) it worked instantly.
These are the settings you're using right?

Access point name: att.mvno
Proxy address: (leave blank)
Proxy port: (leave blank)
Username: (leave blank)
Password: (leave blank)

MMS APN

MMS access point name: att.mvno
Proxy address: 66.209.11.33
Proxy port: 80
Username: (leave blank)
Password: (leave blank)
MMSC address: http://mmsc.cingular.com

Data did eventually start working by itself. Just took some time to configure, I guess. However, with your help and information, I was also able to get my MMS up and running. Thank you very much!!!!

Nice!!! I'm using the $50/month unlimited talk/text/data plan. I don't think data would truly be unlimited, but I think it would be more relaxed than, say, Straight Talk. I haven't heard of people getting in trouble for excessive data usage as much on Net10. I've had my phone going for a couple days now and I've been quite pleased so far (apart from having a hard time with the WP7 Slacker app...but that's not Net10's fault).

Nokia Lumia 900 NET10 MMS trouble

Thank you SO MUCH for the help! Finally have data and MMS capabilties with my new Nokia using Net10! I was assured by thier tech on the phone that the Nokia Lumia 900 would work fine. Then when it did not work following thier instructions tehy said "well e told you we don't guarantee..." blah blah blah. I called them 4 times and talked to 4 different people with varying degrees of knowledge. One woman tried to tell me my phone would only work in the ZIP code where I live... Oh dear... Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Net10 = Straight Talk except you are paying $5 more. Same TOS, same everything except you are paying Carlos Slim $5 more each month.

I feel miserable

Hi everybody! I have nokia lumia 800, and on net10. my data setup menu differs from lumia 900 menu, it only has fields apn, user namr, password, proxy server/url and proxy port. I tried different combinations of filled fields, but nothing works! I didnt find the thread for NL 800 so you're my last hope guys. Tech supp of net10 couldnt help me either.

What you are describing is under settings->cellular->

you need to download Nokia Network App from Nokia section under Marketplace.

follow this guide for Data and follow this guide for MMS

Still doesn't work(((((((

There are two choices for you to access internet.

Choice 1:
Download "Network Setup" app from Nokia exclusive section of marketplace.
once you run this app this will find several networks e.g. "AT&T 3G", "AT&T-LTE1-Lumia 900", and "AT&T-LTE2-Lumia 900", chose any of these and hit "edit".
Internet APN
Access Point Name: "att.mvno"
Proxy address: "leave blank"
Proxy port: "leave blank"
User name: "leave blank"
Password: leave blank"
Save it as any "connection name" and internet should work.

Choice 2:
Click "Settings" then click "cellular", choose "network selection" as "automatic".
click "add apn"
Access Point Name: "att.mvno"
Proxy address: "leave blank"
Proxy port: "leave blank"
User name: "leave blank"
Password: leave blank"

Now internet should work.

If you choose to install "Network Setup" app and do internet settings in this app then "DO NOT INPUT ANYTHING IN CELLULAR SETTINGS" and everything should simply work.

I am not going to give any info on MMS. Hope it helps. Good Luck.

Re: I feel miserable

Tried it a billion times, tried every combination... I think I am just not lucky.

Re: I feel miserable

I tried using only Network Setup app, and everything worked EXCEPT music from the marketplace. If I tried to preview an album, it would say there is a problem with the network and wouldn't work. If I only used the Settings => Cellular setting, then MMS wouldn't work. What I did was added the MMS APN and Internet APN in Network Settings first:

Internet APN:

att.mvno
everything else blank

MMS APN:
straight talk (I tried att.mvno and that doesn't work so I just put some dummy text in there and it works...)
66.209.11.33
80
http://mmsc.cingular

Then I restarted. Then I added the APN to the settings => cellular:

att.mvno
everything else blank

After that I restarted, and at times it takes different combo/order of creating seperate APNs, but I got EVERYTHING (including music from Marketplace) to work. I guess people are saying only use the Network Setup app because it does work for internet and MMS, but it doesn't work for the Music section in the Marketplace.

I have Lumia 800 on Ne10 wireless and I tested my MMS settings by sending a pic to my friend using MMS and it works. I am not sure if Lumia 920 has a seperate app called "network setup app" or inbuilt MMS setting within the OS. But my MMS settings are as:

MMS access point name : att.mvno

Proxy address: 66.209.11.33

Proxy port: 80

MMSC address: http://mmsc.cingular.com

Please let me know if it works for you.

Good Luck!

im planning to get an att mvno too and use a nokia lumia 900

I have Lumia 800 and using $50 plan (unlimited talk, text, and data). Data is mostly unlimited if you browse web in 95% cases and watch videos here and there. I have used more like 8-9Gb without any problems but I have been blocked too (lol). That $50 plan may become $46 if you choose automatic recharge.
